Our novel button comprises a base portion 'l having a shank 2 and the said shank is of tubular construction and'arrange'jl in one end thereof is a nib 4. The bore of the tubular portion 2 is indicated by 3. The other element of our novel button comprises a base 5 having a shank 6 and this shank terminates at the end opposite the base 5 in a point through the medium of which the shank may 192e. serial No. 117,738.

penetrate or pierce cloth or other material. Formed in the shank 6 is a slot 7 that terminates in an off-set S thereby producing a. bayonet slot.

In the use of this embodiment of our invention the material to which the lbutton is to be attached is pierced by the point of the shank 6 and the base 5 is forced into a position bea-ring` against4 the material. The other element of the button is then passed over the shank (il with the nib 4L riding into-the slot 7 and then the base l is twisted until the button 4 rests in and is locked in removable po- -tion l of the button when used is twisted so that the button passes through the odset l0, down the slot ll and finally into the terminal offset l2. In this construction, the 'liability ot' the elements becoming disengaged from the material is doubly precluded.

, That we claim In a button7 the combination of two separate members one of which is adapted to receive and .engage the other Vin a removable manner; one ot said members comprising a circular solid base portion, an integral tubular portion formed on the base portion, a nib interiorly arranged on the tubular portion, the other member comprising a circular base port-ion and having a solid shank portion arranged thcreong said shank portion being pointed on` its free end and having a chan-v nel extending from a point slightly'below the free end and terminating near the circular portion at an angle with respect to the shank.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
